Self-hosted site monitoring for Joomla!™ sites.
Top Features
Free
Free of charge and free as in freedom. Licensed under the GNU Affero GPLv3 license.
Self-hosted
Host it on your own server, under your terms, without per-site fees. You own your data, nobody holds it ransom.
Joomla! update
Get notified on new Joomla! updates detected by your sites. Install them, automatically or manually, without leaving Panopticon. Automation options can be selected globally, or per site.
Extensions update
Get notified on new extension versions. Install them, automatically or manually, without leaving Panopticon. Automation options can be selected per site and extension.
Scheduled backups
Backup your site automatically with Akeeba Backup Professional, and manage your backups from Panopticon.
Admin Tools integration
Locked out of your site? Regain access with one click from Panopticon. Moreover, check the reports of Admin Tool's PHP File Change Scanner for peace of mind.
Lightweight and easy
Panopticon is designed to run even on most resource-restricted shared hosting, or something as underpowered as a Raspberry Pi model 2. All you need is be able to run a CRON job every minute.
Invite your clients
Got dozens or hundreds of clients? No problem! User groups and permissions let you invite them, and choose whether they can take action.
Flexible and extensible
There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all. You can customise and extend Panopticon at every level: CSS, HTML output, change existing features, or create entirely new features. Sky's the limit.
